Sunday night baseball moves to nbc, ESPN gets a mid-week package.
Fox/TBS stay the same.
Apple stays the same.
Netflix is getting the HR Derby, and FoD.
MLB.tv stays the same, but 6 teams will be able to have in-market games as well (assumed as an extra for those in those markets.)
ESPN app subscribers can buy an mlb.tv subscription through the ESPN app, and/or an in-market subscription.
A bit of a circus, but nothing that’s really different overall.
MLB gets another path of subscriptions, sunday night changes channels, now there’s mid-week national games.
I was wondering similar and looked into that stuff (overall, not just ROOT) last spring. It’s my understanding their intentions are to retain teams current broadcast staff. The end result is you should get the same people and broadcast, but through mlb.tv and not all the random RSN’s.
